me too!! ;Djoncarrfarrelly will be happy to know the Ki-73 in my upcoming book on Japanese x-planes, has been fully updated in regards to H-engines. Perhaps I'll get around to editing the Hikoki:1946 website to correct it but a looming due date for the publication takes precedence!
To find 3views of the Mitsubishi Ki 73 super high speed(750km/h) aircraft is very difficult even in Japan.Vietcong said:Is any one have 3views of the Ki 73.It also the fighter project similar to ki-64
I already saw it in Hikoki 1946 siteblackkite said:To find 3views of the Mitsubishi Ki 73 super high speed(750km/h) aircraft is very difficult even in Japan.Vietcong said:Is any one have 3views of the Ki 73.It also the fighter project similar to ki-64
It's engine was two Mitsubishi design liquid cooling H shape 24 cylinder HA 206, 2,600HP in take off.

Ed's JAPANESE SECRET PROJECT has very beautiful Ki-73 colored side view.(27p)
It's single engine aircraft.
Ki-73 had twin engine or single engine? That's the question.

I imagine that Mitsubishi failed to develop HA203 engine, and Ki-73 project was merged into Ki-83 project. Planned Ki-73 shape might have been similar to Ki-83 with HA203 engine.
